I leaned back into the couch as I watched Lance finishing up his last bite of sandwich. The kid was acting frantic as news of a potential rogue wolf was upon us. The possibility of it also being some sneaky tactic of Lance's father was impeccably high.

"Why aren't you eating, Tanner?" Lance asked.

I leaned in to tell him that I wasn't hungry just yet and was preoccupied on the whole situation that we all discussed earlier. Lance gave a nod and dusted his hands off and sat down his empty plate on the coffee table that was in front of him.

"Alright, boys I know what we're going to do..." I said.

The three guys who sat across from Lance and I, quickly pulled their attention away from the T.V to focus on me.

"Did you think of something, Boss?" James asked.

"We're going to go out on a patrol with the others," I replied.

Mason shot up and moaned about how the three of them already did their fair share of patrolling and questioned why they were now doing it again.

"I'm not doing this to punish you all, I clearly understand how my own patrol system works, but right now there's some business to attend to, in regards to the paw print issue, so we're now going to find out who's involved in it," I explained.

"What makes you think who ever just passed along hasn't already made it across the borders to the other pack's territory?" James asked.

"Well, we won't know until we find out ourselves, right?" I said sarcastically.

James became quite from my snarky remarks toward him and I quickly ordered the three of them to get themselves ready for leaving. Lance tugged onto the side of my shirt and gave a me a worrying stare.

"What's wrong, pup?" I asked, stroking the kid's hair.

"What does that mean for me, will I be going with you guys or...?" he asked.

I thought back for a moment and tried to decide whether or not I should take Lance with me or have him stay back here and let Liam watch over him.

Was taking him with me safer?

There was a possibility of running into his own pack, if he was to be seen strolling around the outer perimeters of my territory by them, while they were out on their own patrol too.

Nah...imma have him stay here.

"You'll be staying here and I'll have Liam watch over you," I said.

"W-why...can't I go!" he yelled.

"Well, for one, there's a chance you'll get hurt if anything happens and if any of your pack mates sees you out there, more problems will occur and I'm not ready to deal with it yet, until the whole rogue wolf situation is taken care of," I replied.
